Here are some pointers even the seasoned agents need to go back to open house 101

Advertise make sure you go the extra mile maybe with a picture of the house or bold the advertisement to get your advertisement noticed.

People need to get to the house make sure you have enough signs

Get to the open house at least 15 minutes before pickup any papers in front of the house- if the house needs to be swept in front sweep it!! Have plenty of flyers

Advertise on Craigslist and your local MlS for the open houses plus there are a lot of different websites you can advertise on free

Make sure the house shines in the event your clients are not the neatest people explain to them the benefit of having a clean house. Advise the sellers to declutter areas and put personal items away

Play music I have a portable player for my IPOD and I take it to evey open house

If the house has a fireplace and the weather is on the cool side light a log (get permission from the seller first)

Greet every person at the front door (do not sit) remember everybody that comes through that door may be interested in finding an agent to list their house

If the weather is warm have bottled water for the people coming through the open house

Open all blinds and turn on every light.

MAKE A GREAT FIRST IMPRESSION!!!
